William Fitzsimmons / Raye Zaragoza / Award: Bryan Ware (The Crayon Initiative)

William Fitzsimmons returns to the show with his gentle, insightful sound (some compare him to Gregory Alan Isakov, Bon Iver, and Sufjan Stevens).

Also with us: young Raye Zaragoza, who is already an established singer, songwriter, and performer as well as a Native American activist.

Plus we’ve got a heartwarming eChievement Award story about a California man, Bryan Ware (The Crayon Initiative) who is reducing waste while helping young patients heal, all by recycling crayons. All, this week . . . in eTown.
